The UOP General Legal Advice Clinic:
Student Engagemet Using Padlet 

This presentation will address how we have had to modify our practice in the General Legal Advice Clinic and will briefly outlining how we used to operate the clinic pre-pandemic, what the modified face-to-face clinic looked like, and how we have now adapted to a (hopefully!) temporary online clinic. We have used Padlet throughout that evolution to facilitate client work. Padlet has been the most useful tool that we have to keep students and supervisors involved and informed when we are working on client cases. We would like to share how it works for us and bring in students to give feedback on their experiences.
